lyrics

Ships are safe in harbours but that is not what ships are for
Sometimes there stands a fine line between wisdom and a lie
Another game was being played, we never stood a chance of winning
Now we must fight back with all that we can find

I'd rather have a head full of questions and no answers
Than to walk around repeating lies and calling them my own
All that I see in your eyes is smoke from a distant fire
From when you lost a diamond while out collecting stone

The broken clock will tell the right time twice a day
Be careful where you choose to put your faith

We have more in common than that which does divide us
But some pieces of this jigsaw refuse to let us fit
Should you lie to your government they'll tell you you're a criminal
But every day they do the same and call it politics

The broken clock will tell the right time twice a day
Be careful where you choose to put your faith

If history's just a set of lies that's told by those with all the power
I truly hope one fine day you get all you deserve
You may have us surrounded but I pity you poor bastards
Once we realise it takes two flints to make a fire burn

The broken clock will tell the right time twice a day
Be careful where you choose to put your faith
The broken clock will tell the right time twice a day
Be careful where you choose to put your faith
